Now we need to create the mailbox and then assign Full Mailbox and Send-As rights to all users in the Help Desk Active Directory group. First, let's create the Shared Mailbox:

New-Mailbox -Shared -Name "Help Desk" -DisplayName "Help Desk"

The Help Desk Shared Mailbox is now in Exchange and we need to assign rights to the mailbox for the Help Desk users to be able to send as the Shared Mailbox. For this part, there are two options for assigning the correct permissions for the Help Desk users. Either the rights can be assigned on a per-user or a per-group basis. For a group like the Help Desk, it would be more appropriate to use a group as the Help Desk group is likely to have a higher turnover rate than other groups. The other reason to use a group is that it is far easier to assign rights with groups than users. That way when a new Help Desk user is hired, in order to grant rights to the Shared Mailbox, all the admin has to do is to add the user to the group instead of using PowerShell to assign the rights.

Get-Command *Permission*
